Once your info is sold on to third parties it is resold and resold and err resold. Guaranteed google will sell on your info and no doubt record your calls too lol - their keen to read all your emails I know that much.

Beee Essss
Google isn't recording anyone's calls. YOU can record an inbound call IF you set up that option and you then press 4 during an inbound (but not outbound) call.
Google isn't listening to your calls for any purpose whatsoever. Google will use machine learning to analyze your voicemail messages to produce transcripts, and optionally, with your explicit permission, analyze the voicemails to use to improve its speech-to-text system.
Of course, Google, like the vast majority of website operators, collects usage data via cookies and beacons, but it's not collecting data about the content of your calls, or the people you call or the people who call you, to sell to anyone. The privacy policy is on their website, available for you to read.
If you are worried about this, and you don't believe Google's transparency report and privacy policy, then don't use the service. Furthermore, GV isn't available outside the USA, so, as someone living in Wales, Google isn't even offering it to you.

I was just joking about google recording calls. Was a tongue in cheek comment aimed at those with tin foil hats lol...
I have never used google voice, as you pointed out it isn't available here. Sorry if I offended you Steve. :)

No offense! There is just so much tinfoil here that sometimes, I think Obihai should sell it by the restaurant-sized roll.
Thanks.
